Seems more like a shortest path problem than a TSP, which is a good thing.

- jcoffland 10y agoRight. I stand corrected. It could be thought of as a vector space of wind velocities. Simple gradient decent would not yield optimal solutions in many cases. I wonder if the jetstream is constant enough to consider it as a static field for the flight duration. Probably not. Wind likes to change.
- jacquesm 10y agoIt's static enough that there are almanacs with the basic data for every week of the year, there are long term trends and local influences.
